beautiful cajun music in the 1981 film southern comfort.

This is a beautiful version of the song "PARLEZ NOUS A' BOIRES" by Dewey Balfa.Enjoy!Warning!!!The sequence contains images of violence against animals which may offend or shock some people.Also the particular sequence is taking place in a crucial part of the film so if you havent seen it yet,i advise you to skip and enjoy all of its 106 minutes.The means of this video is to pay tribute to the Balfa brothers and the Cajun music culture in general and last but not least to keep up the memory of some excellent movies which did nt make it to the big audience.Thank you for your posts.

this is as traditional as it gets here in south Louisiana. A party that truly rocks the house, good people, good beer, and dam good crawfish. pinch me , peel me, and eat me!!!

I live in south Louisiana and this is the true meaning of the words (house party). Here , we look for an excuse to throw a party and have a good time. Years back , it was common to make a hog butcher at your house. There is nothing like the taste of fresh pork on the table with cracklins, tasso, and boudin and you cant forget the cornbread.  the rest of the world just dont know what they are missing.

@sovibrant You thought it necessary to comment so I'll return the compliment. Deliverance and Southern Comfort are totally different yet with a common theme - violence by locals against strangers in their midst. Whereas Deliverance was totally plausible and believable film, S C was so far fetched as to be unreal. Transporting bodies through the swamps to scare the guardsmen, I ask you. Still the music was great although Dewey Balfa and Savoy would have been better employed elsewhere.

@54321Rambler So not a crap film. If you are looking for a deliverance remake, just watch deliverance. They are totally different. Sounds a lot more like you actually didnt get the film.

@005658able Would this be an all day sort of party, drop in & out as able? Family, friends, passers by? I could listen to the music a long time without tiring of it. I never liked the accordian until hearing it in this kind of music.
